Insight Schools Reviews

You will work 50+ hours a week because of the high demands and expectations of teachers. There is time tracking on your computer because other teachers take advantage of working from home. Students are not held accountable and do not start classwork until the last week of the trimester . This results in being extremely overworked and overwhelmed. Teachers are expected to pass everyone. It’s terrifying to think about these kids trying to get jobs with this kind of preparation. Every assignment and due date must be put in before the course starts -so plan everything the first week! A lot of the courses are outdated and need a ton of work to get ready for students. You definitely need to be tech savvy (but you should be anyway if you want to be a virtual teacher). Homeroom compliance duties take the majority of time during your work week so you barely have time to prepare your content classes. Chasing students down every week so they don’t get withdrawn shouldn’t be the teacher’s responsibility. Pay is sooooo low -you cannot live on what you make and you don’t get state benefits, but you get paid less than the teachers in the district’s brick and mortar schools. Raises are based on time and education -not performance and RESULTS. Last time I checked, a teacher having a masters doesn’t mean their students all make better grades, but what do I know?!

They had a toxic culture and seemed to thrive on drama.
